\"\"<\/a>As you read this, I\u2019m on the road with my 18 year old high school senior Adam. We\u2019re headed to the coast for the day to attend a college admissions event at UC Santa Cruz. The home of the Banana Slugs is honestly not high on either of our lists, but a road trip to one of Adam\u2019s \u201csafety schools\u201d and a visit to a city we haven\u2019t really seen before sounded like a fun way to spend the day. While we\u2019re there, I hope to sneak in a visit to Holy Cross Church at Mission Santa Cruz<\/a>, a mission I\u2019ve always wanted to visit.<\/p>\n

Mission Santa Cruz was founded September 25, 1791 by Father Ferm \u00edn Francisco de Lasu\u00e9n, the successor of Father Jun\u00edpero Serra. \u201cSanta Cruz\u201d means \u201cHoly Cross\u201d in Spanish. The full Spanish name of the mission is \u201cMisi\u00f3n la exaltaci\u00f3n de la Santa Cruz,\u201d named after a feast day in the Church calendar which occurs on September 14: The Exaltation of the Holy Cross.<\/span>\u00a0For more information,\u00a0click here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adam and I are a few months into his college search process. Along the way, there have been heated discussions, moments of enlightenment, a lot of long nights at Panera sucking down wifi and coffee refills, and already at least one early admission letter. All of the parties involved in this particular college discernment process have strong feelings which at this point are not in perfect alignment. We\u2019ve agreed that at this point our job is to investigate all of the options \u2014 now is not the time for decision making. It\u2019s the time to learn, to explore, to put your best foot forward in the application process and to leave a lot of trust in God\u2019s infinite wisdom.<\/p>\n

So I hope you enjoy your Saturday as much as I know I will, spending the day in the company of my favorite teenager. If you catch a score on the Notre Dame game<\/a>, feel free to tweet it to me (@LisaHendey<\/a>) and make sure you too find time for a little rest and relaxation today.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t worry, if I see a real \u201cbanana slug\u201d I\u2019ll definitely share a photo!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
